The People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Free Syrian Army (FSA) have now
agreed to join forces and fight against the militants of the Islamic
State.
They will act together under the name of Burkan al-Forat (Forat
Eruption), which was announced at a ceremony that took place in the
Forat area of Syria.
On Wednesday, the military operation was announced at a special ceremony
where the commander of the FSA made the statement.
“Due to the behavior and actions of IS insurgents against the innocent
residents of the area, we, as the brigade and battalion of East

In another part of the statement, the commander asked those people who
chose to join the IS insurgents to leave the terrorist organization, and
he asked the international community to do its duty against IS
terrorists.
The statement concluded with a decree that the duty of this military
group is to completely free all areas that are under control of IS
